    Idiot. John Mahama is walking freely for 8 years. If you have any evidence against him arrest and prosecute him and stop the stupidity. We are tired of this rubbish since 2016.

    Sophia Akuffo didn’t say anything bad about Dame’s actions, it’s Ghanaweb’s reporter who mischievously coined the headline as if Mrs Akuffo said something wrong about the AG! Go back and read the article.

    Plea bargain, yes. Stock of the trade. Coercing, manipulating and prepping an accussed to lie on the stand to build a case against another accussed person is illegal.
